It's Funny

It's funny how life works sometimes.

My father was in a wedding band when we were growing up. He was the drummer and many of weekends, he would have a "band job" and make some extra money of us.

This weekend, I went with Tom on a "band job", as he is a drummer in an original band, UZ3. As we were bringing in the drum stands, I felt a little nostalgic. And that is when it hit me, in a way I've been following around a man in a band my whole life.

I did this same thing 30 years ago....with my father. As a little girl, I always felt so proud when I watched my father play. He was happiest when he played those drums and always seemed to carry a special aura with him to the gig and back.

Tom couldn't be more different then my father. Personality, style, looks and soul, they are very, very different. But, I see that same happy aura in Tom, that I saw in my father as a little girl.

I'd swear the beat you hear coming from the drum set, isn't the result of a stick hitting a drum skin. It's sound of the drummer's heart, dancing to the beat of his life.

About Jenn

After years of traveling through life with a suitcase filledof feelings I never allowed to see daylight, I decided to set them free. And with that, I emptied that suitcase, and with that, freed myself.

I'm still me, just better.

As my daily life is inspired by both my old suitcase and my new journey, so is this blog.
